Brazillion Dollar Home on Mobile01

H a! I bet you thought that this would be about an actual house, didn’t you? Nope…

I wanted to point out a very comprehensive review on the Crumpler Brazillion Dollar Home camera bag that was posted on Mobile01.

I have reviewed quite a few Crumpler bags in the past and have always been very impressed with their quality. Seeing a bag this specialized only reminds me of what an amateur photographer I am. ;-)

The review is in Chinese, but the many detailed photos show the quality and excellent construction of the bag – as well as how many specialized pieces of photographic equipment it can accomodate.

If you are serious about photography, then you probably have a lot of very expensive gear that needs a protective home. This Crumpler bag looks like it could do the job very well.

    I have a Crumpler Ben’s Glamour XL for my Canon 350D, lenses and filters etc. It’s the perfect size – everything fits snugly without being overpacked and my expensive camera always feels well protected. Whilst the Crumpler bags are more expensive than standard camera bags, the build quality warrants the extra money in my opinion.

    “the build quality warrants the extra money in my opinion.”

    I totally agree. :-)

    I went with a Lowepro from my new Canon EOS 400D (http://www.girlsgonemobile.net/?p=713) – not as funky-looking, but also pricey and very well-constructed. Makes me feel like a ‘real’ photographer ;)

    I bought this bag and am returning it. I own a Crumple photo backpack and love it. Very well thought out, highest quality materials and design. Wonderful.

    I had high hopes for the Brazillion Dollar Home but found it extremely difficult to configure to work out of. When you put 3 flashes in the front pockets, the front flap becomes useless because it fits so snug against the flashes. Try putting something in those little pouches or the zippered pocket with flashes in place. None of the photos show that because it’s not possible.

    Another thing, with no large external pouches all your accessories are relegated to the interior, which means they are under something that is velcroed in place. That makes noise when you need to get something. When working in a quiet environment that’s a big disadvantage.

    I think this bag is an example of where too snug of construction is not good. I do both editorial and commercial photography. I need quick and quiet access to equipment and accessories. I don’t see how that is possible with this bag. Bummer, cuz I like it in many other ways.
